We started because the best golf trip we had ever taken was the one nobody could arrange.

In 2008 our founder Wei Lin spent a week showing two visiting Seoul clubmates around Shanghai and Kunming — courses they had only seen in magazine spreads, booked through favours called in at midnight. On the flight home they asked a question we still answer every day: "Why can I book a tee time at Pebble Beach online, but not here?"

The answer, it turned out, was a career. China has some of the most extraordinary golf on earth — championship venues, volcanic layouts, mountain courses at 3,000 metres — but almost none of it is reachable by a visitor working alone. Green fees move, access rules change, and the members' clubs simply do not answer emails from abroad.

So we built the relationships one handshake at a time. Today ChinaGolfTrip is a small, fully licensed team: planners who answer your emails in your language, drivers who have driven every road we sell, and the kind of access that can't be listed on a booking site. We take roughly four hundred golfers a year, never in groups larger than the one they arrived with.

We are not the cheapest option and we don't try to be. We are the option where the quoted price is the final price, the driver is early, and the eighth tee is exactly where the itinerary said it would be.

MILESTONES

How we got here.

2008

First journey, by favours

Wei Lin hosts two Seoul clubmates. The favours that made it possible become the template for everything after.

2011

Licensed operations

The team takes formal inbound-tour licensing and adds its first two full-time English-speaking drivers.

2014

Hainan programme launches

Winter departures to Haikou and Sanya begin — today our most-booked format for Korean and Japanese golfers.

2017

Members'-club access

Multi-year agreements open doors at clubs that do not take public bookings. They remain the hardest tickets in China golf.

2021

Korean & Japanese desks

Native-language planners join for guests arriving from Seoul and Tokyo, cutting reply times to minutes.

2026

2,400th guest

Guests from 32 countries, 60+ partner courses in nine provinces, and an average rating of 5.0 across 186 verified reviews.

THE PEOPLE

Who will actually answer you.

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Builds the days for the people in your group who don't play — tea houses, tailors, calligraphy, cooking classes — so nobody merely "comes along."
